Greens and blues bring out brown eyes, and purple is such a universal color for all skin tones and undertones. You just can’t go wrong with purple! With the correct shade of purple, it can brighten up the eye when used on the lower lash line too!

I also used a sheer amount of Parfait Amour above Irises, as a transition color, and this is how the Horizontal Gradient looks like it has more colors involved than it really does (refer to first picture).

Because the lid colors are somewhat muted, a shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye will instantly add sparkle and complete the whole look.

You’d probably have noticed that I didn’t wear my colored contact lenses for this eye makeup look, yet the eyes don’t look like they’re diminished by all the colors. I love that the eyeshadow colors are cool and the eyeliner a warm brown. The Stila eyeliner is such a pain to work with, but the color is just amazing.

Do you have any eyeliner that is hard to work with, but you love it in some way or other?
